In a recent question about abnormal hair-growth, the writer mentioned a long history of hydrocortisone use as a means of treating eczema. I too have a long history of severely uncomfortable and troubling eczema. During the worst outbreaks, I have visited several different dermatologists, and all have prescribed topical hydrocortisones, such as Hytone or Topicort, as well as anti-itching pills, such as Atarax. One prescribed Diprolene ointment, which I used for a year, until my next dermatologist dismissively told me it was far too strong and could be damaging.
I would like to know once and for all how damaging the extensive and long-term use of any of these creams is. Please give me one of your straightforward answers; I have been frustrated by the differing views and lack of concern among the dermatologists I have visited. I am tired of being told it is "just eczema." I already use the gentlest cleansing products available, tons of moisturizing cream, rinse all my clothes twice, wear soft fabrics, etc. I am still absolutely tortured by itching, often resorting to scratching at my skin with a hairbrush. The eczema reappears without fail in the same places, even on my face, and is particularly bad after stress periods, when I absolutely cannot control my itching or scratching. Isn't there anyone anywhere doing research on this? Is there anything else I can try? I am not averse to vitamin, holistic, or homeopathic therapies, if there are any. Please help. This is really a very ugly and upsetting problem.
--Helplessly Itchy
Dear Helplessly Itchy,
Eczema (a.k.a., "atopic dermatitis") is a skin disease with red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, thickened, and itchy skin lesions. Eczema runs in families with allergies, such as hay fever or asthma. Eczema causes constant itching in a vicious itch-scratch-rash-itch cycle. Stress, dry skin, environmental temperature and/or humidity changes, bacterial skin infections, and wool and synthetic garments often make the condition worse.
No one knows what causes eczema. There is no cure, but several treatments for eczema are available. It is impossible to know exactly how any one treatment will affect each and every patient. Treatment involves a good deal of trial and error.
Corticosteroid creams or ointments applied topically are the most effective medications known. They vary widely in strength, however (the first two you name are quite mild hydrocortisones, whereas the last treatment you mention is strong and can be damaging). The major hazard of topical steroids is skin atrophy. This results from regular use of stronger creams, especially on the face, but this would be unusual with hydrocortisone. The other problem with long-term use is potential ineffectiveness after a time, which can be avoided by using simple emollients (moisturizers) for a week or more, after which the cream may again become effective.
Emollients, sedating antihistamines at night, antibiotics, bandaging, and avoidance of irritant detergents, clothing, fabrics, perfumes, dyes, and metals, among other things, are other treatments. Phototherapy -- exposure to ultraviolet radiation in gradually increasing increments -- and a diet which eliminates potentially irritating foods can help some people. The most common foods eliminated are nuts, tomatoes, milk, eggs, and cereals. A dermatologist and/or nutritionist may be able to help with this approach. If your eczema continues to bother you, seeing a dermatologist regularly may help.
Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and evening primrose oil (applied topically) are other possible treatments. For more information on alternative or complementary medicine, contact the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at (888) 644-6226, or the American Foundation for Alternative Healthcare, Research, and Development at (914) 794-8181. Since stress can exacerbate eczema, you could sign up for a stress reduction/relaxation course. If you are at Columbia, contact Alice!, Columbia University's Health Education Program, at x4-5453 for schedule information on stress management workshops that are offered during the Fall and Spring semesters.
- Dry or sensitive skin can leave many of us itching and scratching, too, especially in the winter. There are some ways, however, to get relief. For one, water dries out skin. Taking shorter showers and baths in warm (not hot) water and patting yourself dry can help. Also, use soaps and moisturizers that won't dry your skin -- look for ones that are hypo-allergenic and unscented, and avoid antibacterial products. In the winter, keep the air in your home moist by using a humidifier or vaporizer, or placing pans of water on the radiator.

I can only tell you what my experience of eczema has been and that has been with my daughter. When it came to her eczema and the doctors, I felt like I was a rat on a treadmill. They were only concerned with treating the symptoms and not in treating the cause of the problem in the first place.
Anyway, to make a long story short I read that traditional Chinese medicine has the best track record with treating eczema because (amongst other things) they take into account the person's diet. I took her to a tradational chinese doctor and was given a cream for her skin, a herbal tea to help cleanse her blood (lots of green, leafy veges are also good for this), and told which foods she needed to avoid. Through elimination and gradual introduction of food groups to determine which one was causing her eczema, we found that sugar was the culprit in her case. It was amazing. Her skin was beautiful, but if she had sugar she would break out within the next day or two. There was a clear, unmistakable connection.
Years later our young niece had a much worse case of eczema. Thankfully they knew what we went through and they found through trial and error that hers was exacerbated by wheat, gluten, and dairy products (which are the more common culprits).
I hope this helps you.

To the reader:
This works for me:
Use a mixture in the proportion of 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of distilled water. Place mixture in a spray bottle and use on the dry areas. Let it stand for 5-10 min or longer if you have the time, then rinse. Repeat twice a day. I have used this once a day for my head and had results immediately. I would stay away from commercial soaps and laundry detergents. All the best!!!!

I too suffered intollerable eczema, and acne. I too suffered though useless dermatologist appointments that I waited three months to get and was in and out of their offices in three minutes! Go to a naturopath physician or herbologist!!! My skin issues are completely cleared. Eczema, acne, you name it!
I personally see an herbalist. The remedies are toally natural with extremely few to no side effects. My first consultation was two hours!!! Be prepeared to do some altering of your diet and implement some new eating habits, but it works. These people study your body and habits and create solutions using plants and plant materials and the food you eat! They work, and if you're at your wits end you've got nothing to loose. Good luck!

Chansey, the famous pink blob's little cousin, possesses amazing bulk which allows her to be a very effective support Pokemon in Ubers. When equipped with an Eviolite, she achieves incredible bulk with 642 HP, 163 Defense, and 508 Special Defense, assuming a Calm nature. Greater defenses allow Chansey to avoid being 2HKOed by a number of attacks that Blissey would succumb to, including Choice Specs Kyogre's Water Spout, Dialga and Palkia's Outrage, and Latios's Psyshock. However, holding Eviolite comes at the expense of no Leftovers recovery, so keep that in mind when choosing between Chansey and Blissey. Chansey does share Blissey's fantastic support movepool though, including Wish, which allows her to replenish a massive 321 HP for a teammate.
Chansey's superb defenses thanks to Eviolite allow her to be an excellent wall, and a key player on any stall-inclined team. With her vast support movepool, she can pass enormous Wishes, cripple opponents, stall with Toxic, and remove status afflictions from the team with Heal Bell. Chansey can also remove any status dealt to herself by simply switching due to Natural Cure. This gives her incredible staying power and the ability to outstall opposing walls. Against such walls, she may then proceed to Toxic as the opponent is forced to switch, lest they face the slow spiral to death while beating futilely against Chansey's awesome bulk supported by Softboiled. Note that even with Toxic Spikes support, Toxic is still a great move to deal with Flying-types and Levitate users such as Lugia and Giratina-O.
The choice between Wish, Seismic Toss, and Heal Bell is dependent on how well Chansey's teammates can recover health and absorb status. Teams that are vulnerable to crippling statuses such as poison, paralysis, and burn appreciate Heal Bell, while teams that lack recovery moves benefit greatly from Wish. Snatch may also be used on Chansey as it allows her to take down mono-attacking Arceus (most notably Dark Arceus) by stealing Refreshes and Recovers; if the Arceus is poisoned, Chansey can repeatedly abuse Snatch to prevent Arceus from removing its status or recovering its HP. This also allows her to steal Calm Mind boosts to further increase Chansey's Special Defense. Should a team be comfortable forgoing Wish's recovery or Heal Bell's status removing support, Seismic Toss should be used for its value in breaking down poisoned enemies that abuse recovery moves, most notably Lugia.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
If your team lacks a Pokemon with Stealth Rock, Chansey may use it over Seismic Toss in order to support the team even further. Protect is still usable over Softboiled to secure Wish activation for Chansey herself. It can also be useful for scouting opponent's attacks, but its effectiveness is greatly hindered by the absence of Leftovers. Thunder Wave is an option for offensive teams to paralyze opposing Pokemon in preparation for a slower teammate to sweep. An EV spread of 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD may be used if one wishes to pass more HP to teammates with Wish, or take physical hits better at the cost of less special bulk. Counter is another interesting option for Chansey; due to her higher physical bulk relative to Blissey, she can survive a number of physical hits from certain Pokemon and KO them with Counter. Using Counter requires a great deal of prediction, but makes it even more difficult for the opponent to take down Chansey. Light Screen is a useful move to support the team and ensures that pretty much no special attack will KO Chansey. Charm can be used in order weaken the opponent's physical attacks and allow Chansey to more effectively wall physical attacking Pokemon. Keep in mind that attack drops are removed by switching out so it is mainly effective only for phazing.
Checks and Counters
Many physical sweepers such as Zekrom, Terrakion, Ho-Oh, physical variants of Arceus, and Rayquaza can counter Chansey reasonably well due to her lower Defense; however, even they have to fear being poisoned by Toxic and stalled out. Pokemon that can safely ignore poison and use stat boosting moves such as Swords Dance, Bulk Up, Calm Mind, and Nasty Plot can give Chansey a lot of problems. This includes Steel, Flying, and Poison types of Arceus, Kyogre, and Dialga. Ghost-types and Pokemon with 404 HP or more can use Substitute to set up fearlessly against Chansey, as they are not bothered by Seismic Toss or Toxic. Extreme Killer Arceus can simply set up on Chansey with Swords Dance, taking only relatively minor damage from Seismic Toss or Toxic. Mewtwo can easily 2HKO Chansey with Psystrike, a task accomplished with much ease when backed by Calm Mind boosts. Pokemon with Refresh, Aromatherapy, or Heal Bell and a Recovery move can also set up on Chansey at will. Refresh Arceus and Latias are notable examples.

My husband and I received the U.S. Traveler Fashion 4-Piece Expandable Spinner Luggage Set from Overstock.com this past Christmas as a gift. We did not have the opportunity to use the luggage until our vacation a few weeks ago. We opted to use the 29� and 25� suitcases and were initially impressed with the quality of the luggage. Unfortunately, this was to be short-lived. After using the luggage, we observed the wheels were not large enough for the suitcases, therefore, the bottoms of the suitcases drag on the ground when the luggage is pulled on two wheels. We would adjust the angle at which we were pulling the bags to minimize the dragging, but it still continued. A few days into our trip, we decided to examine the bottom of the luggage. Much to our dismay, we found the black fabric piping along the bottom of the suitcase had worn off to the point where we could see the metal piece that fabric was shielding. Additionally, this metal piece had begun to pull away from the actual suitcase on the 29� piece. Afraid our luggage would not withstand the journey home, we had to resort to pulling the luggage on all 4 wheels to prevent the bottom of the suitcase from dragging on the ground. Talk about inconvenient! The 4 wheels do not pull evenly and we had to consciously push and pull the luggage around just to get the suitcases from Point A to Point B. I would also like to comment that upon receiving the luggage, we were examining the suitcases and noticed the pull handle of the 20� suitcase was broken. The handle would extend fully but would not close; Overstock was helpful and efficient in replacing this suitcase in a timely manner. We were incredibly disappointed with the quality and engineering of this product and would not recommend this purchase to anyone. If the wheels were slightly larger, the bottoms of the suitcases would not drag on the ground, thereby pulling parts of the suitcase away. Upon our return home, we took multiple pictures to document the damage and also photographed our suitcases when packed; they were not fully packed so the weight of the luggage would not contribute to the dragging suitcases. It's unfortunate that we will only get one use from each large suitcase due to the fact the bottom of the suitcases are now falling apart. We will be in the market for a new set of luggage and WILL NOT be purchasing from this manufacturer. Buyer beware.
I was so excited when I ordered this luggage set. But, unfortunately, I didn't read the product info carefully enough because the pieces are weirdly sized. The biggest one is actually great. It's nice and big and perfect for checked luggage. But, the one after that is a tad too big to be a carry on. It's 24' and carry ons need to be 22'. This is my fault as I should've done more research. I just assumed that a luggage set would be designed for airplane use. A $100 dollar mistake I will never make again. The little one is just plain awful. It's 20' big. Yeah, it can be used as a carry on, but only if you also checked luggage and aren't trying to squeeze everything in it in order to avoid paying the stupid airplane checked luggage fees. The so-called carry on bag that comes with the set is a joke. My purse is bigger than that flimsy thing. I ended up going to Target to get a real carry on bag. Looks like I'll only be using one piece of this -piece luggage set. Oh, and the 20' suitcase looks like some kid stitched it together, which I truly hope isn't the case. Lots of mistakes on that one.
I am deeply disappointed with this product. It is very poor quality and is not holding up. This was a gift for my parents and it is embarrassing to travel with them (ages 83 & 81) struggle with luggage that was meant to make their travel easier.
Packaging should be better. must have left it out in the rain in their warehouse before delivery. I picked it up from my front door as soon as it arrived but the top of the box was gone. The box was also wet. The rain almost penetrated the plastic bag which wasn't sealed at all.
These suitcases looked nice enough upon opening, but seemed somewhat flimsy. I was VERY disapointed the very first time I used them. One of the suitcases immediately lost both of its zipper pulls. When standing upright to roll them, they lean and don't roll very well. If tilted the least little bit to roll, they drag on the floor instead of letting the wheels roll smoothly. I would not recommend the purchase of this set of luggage.
i used the large piece 1 time and it wont roll true very dissappointed
This luggage is extremely easy to handle and very light weight with no bulkiness at all. The wheels turn on a dime making movement very easy. The materials used in luggage is very high quality considering the price of the luggage. I would highly recommend this luggage to any world traveler!!!
After the first time I am not able to use one of the bag since it is torn. The zipper pulls came out on the first time itself.
This is a great set of luggage. I love the spinner wheels and the set up inside the luggage.
My husband used this luggage for the first time. My husband used the entire set but when packed with clothing the luggage was very difficult to roll and it was difficult to pull the handle up. The luggage weight met airline guidelines. This luggage did not hold up. We returned the luggage when we returned home. It is poor quality.

SWsoft becomes Parallels
Virtualization specialist SWsoft is changing its name. As of 2008 the company will be using the name of its subsidiary Parallels as its new corporate identity.
Besides the name change, SWsoft is also realigning its strategy. Parallels previously played the desktop and workstation virtualization market, with SWsoft catering to the demand for virtual servers and automation solutions with products such as Virtuozzo and the free derivative OpenVZ. SWsoft is now looking to consolidate its activities under the Parallels umbrella. Parallels offers a multi-platform virtualization and automation portfolio to consumers, corporate users and service providers alike. Marketing strategists at SWsoft coined the phrase of Optimized Computing to describe the paradigm shift.
SWsoft's roadmap for 2008 is populated with product updates with Virtuozzo 4.0 due for release early in the year, and Parallels desktop and workstation to follow later on. This single-stop shopping strategy also plays to the company's new management software for various virtualization technologies. The solution will be able to control Virtuozzo and Parallels initially, with third party products to follow.
Besides new business cards and a new letterhead, SWsoft will be introducing a new logo and some new product names: SWsoft PEM and HSPcomplete will then be known as Parallels System Automation and Parallels Business Automation. The vendor will also be merging its separate parallels.com and swsoft.com websites under the parallels.com domain.

Email Story RSS Permalink Print Topcon Precision Agriculture and AMAZONE Ltd. are partnering in an alliance that will see Topcon's expertise in variable rate technology and auto-steering included in AMAZONE's new AMAPAD touch-screen terminal. Driving the new product and collaboration is AMAZONE's AgApp (agricultural application) which allows third-party software to be loaded onto an operator terminal, which means the applications from independent developers can be fully integrated onto the console interface. This make only one sensor necessary, and that's where the AMAPAD ISOBUS terminal comes in.Topcon Precision Agriculture and AMAZONE Ltd. are partnering to combine their expertise in automatic steering systems for a range of professional farming solutions. Here, the new AMAPAD terminal will enable "mini views" of multiple displays on one touch-screen terminal. Topcon and AMAZONE's solution is a "mini-view" concept that allows applications which are not being actively operated, but which are being monitored, to be displayed in a small size at the side of a 12.1" multi-touch color screen. With this feature, the operator can select the application best suited for immediate needs at hand on any particular piece of farm equipment. The AMAPAD console provides the following features: ISOBUS operator terminal – The console can control all ISOBUS implements through one universal terminal. The Task Controller – Allows the exchange of data with software from an office PC via flash drives. All normal GPS applications are available by simply connecting to a suitable GPS receiver. GPS Switch Pro – This part-width section control forms the basis for many AgApps, such as AcuraSpray and AcuraSpread. Officials of both companies say the AMAPAD console can be easily integrated into any tractor.

TROY, N.Y. – A Sunday night accident sent two girls to the hospital after one of them was struck by a car.
A group of four girls was crossing the street around 9 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Hoosick Street and 10th Street when a car headed westbound on Hoosick Street failed to yield to the girls and hit one of them.
Troy Police said a teen was thrown onto the hood of the car and then rolled onto one of her friends. The 10- and 13-year-old girls received minor injuries and were taken to Albany Medical Center for precautionary measures.
The driver of the vehicle stopped after the accident and stayed at the scene. He was cited for failing to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
Police said speed and alcohol were not factors in the accident.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro
Z11 Indy Pace Car Convertible SALE OR TRADE
Ad #181878872 Posted:2013-12-11 00:45:02
The Vintage Air kit is a $2,000 kit that comes with. also the original front seats w/orange houndstooth come with along with the original back seat back. I used the base as part of the fold down upgrade. I also have the late 69 350 w/th350 trans that I will give with the sale for someone that wants to go for more of an original rebuild on the car. I also have the instrument cluster that came in the car too that will go with the sale. I will accept no less than $50,000 cash or a trade that is in the $65,000 plus range for a 55 or 57 Chevy BelAir 2 door hardtop. I will consider trades that are not to the level of this dollar range but you will have to make up for it with cash. The only other trade I will consider is for a 66/67 Chevy II/Nova SS plus cash. Any trade must be complete and finished with p/s, AC and automatic transmission, unless it is a partial trade. I hope this clears up all the trade questions. I really don't want any other trades unless they are something really cool or a full blown & complete 69 Camaro 10.5 or funny car. Thanks and God Bless.
Above Added: Tue August 13, 2013, 8:48 pm EST
I added pictures of the new interior w/the fold down seat and of the engine compartment. I also took pictures of it with the top up so all the questions could be answered at once. Also the new Vintage Air Gen IV kit that I ordered for it, comes with the car, which I forgot to mention. I wasn't going to put it in until I installed the 396 and new subframe, but at least this kit can work with the combo that's in the car now. To answer another question, it does have a completely restored factory tilt column in it now with the walnut steering wheel as you will see in the new pictures. Thanks for the questions. Take care.For Sale; AS IS: or trade: 1969 Camaro Convertible Z11 Indy Pace Car convertible; has SBC 350 hydraulic roller engine w/competition aluminum heads in it now w/B&M TH350 transmission w/stall converter. Engine & transmission has around 10,000 miles on it. It was driven on the 2012 Hot Rod Power Tour which was 10 days and around 4,000 miles with no problems & got around 13mpg on the whole trip. it has a 12 bolt posi w/3.08 gears in it. This car originally had a big block 396/4-speed in it before I got it, but someone did body work on it and put the wrong firewall in it but this could be corrected next time it is painted correctly. I was actually going to smooth the firewall for the new vintage air kit that comes the car. I have a lot of parts that can go with the car but price would be the factor. I will sell as it or can makeup a package deal for you if you would like. The car has a custom interior w/the indy pace car theme still in tact with a fold down rear seat, custom upholstered GTO power seats in the front, AutoMeter Instrument panel. This car runs and drives fine as is but I want to custom build it for myself. I want to sell it outright or trade it for a 57 chevy bel air 2 door hardtop that has vintage air, ps, overdrive and a small block for my father. This car is worth the effort as the are becoming more and more rare as time goes on. I have many pictures and parts to negotiate with. Check out my E-Bay and RacingJunk feedback to see that I am totally legit and have a great background. Please don't waste my time as I wouldn't be wasting yours. Ask any questions you like and I will help you understand whatever it is you need to satisfy your interests. Thanks for your interest and God bless.

Colm, a former member of the town Zoning Board of Adjustment, former head of the Ethan Allen National Bank in Fair Haven, and a well-known figure in the community, died from an apparent cardiac event, according to state police Detective Sgt.

Ghost Dogs
The long persecuted coyote is not vermin, after all. Researchers are now discovering that it's a resilient, adaptable predator that's not just surviving in U.S. cities but playing a valuable role in restoring the food chain for the benefit of birds and other species.
The coyote trots down the street like he owns it, seemingly unconcerned about the cars and people bustling around him on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Alameda, an affluent neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. At about 35 pounds, he's half the weight of a black lab, or one-third that of a gray wolf. But the compact coyote, with its strong, thin legs and sinewy torso under a thick gray-white coat, is the picture of grace. His fluffy, foxlike tail sways behind him as he lopes down the road at an easy clip, one paw on the ground at a time. He stops here and there to poke his slim muzzle into deep-red and golden-yellow leaves. Occasionally he veers off course to investigate a yard. It's not the first time this sleek animal has ventured out in the daytime--decidedly odd behavior for creatures so secretive and glimpsed so rarely that they're like ghosts moving across the nighttime landscape.
Coyotes typically emerge at dusk to hunt, slipping from shadow to shadow, melting into the darkness to avoid drawing the attention of oblivious passersby. They're so good at hiding that most people don't realize the wily creatures moved into Portland--and cities across the country--years ago. They sleep in parks or small snatches of vegetation during the day, stealing out as twilight falls to find rodents and rabbits. So a coyote appearing in broad daylight, unfazed by people and dogs, was a spectacle. "Dozens of people a day called to report a coyote acting strangely this past November," says Bob Sallinger of the Audubon Society of Portland, who went to see for himself. "I'd never seen anything like it," he says of the predator nonchalantly making its way through the neighborhood, sidestepping stopped cars with gawking occupants. "It was insane."
Sallinger usually reassures people that though coyotes are taking up residence in urban areas, they typically avoid people. Not this time. To prevent the emboldened animal from potentially attacking someone who got too close, officials discussed lethal control, or hazing with loud noises to restore its instinctual shyness. Eventually it became clear that the coyote was being fed. "Someone was putting out whole chickens; another was driving around putting food out for them. They thought they were helping, but after talking to them, they realized that they might be signing a death warrant." Audubon and other groups are now pushing for a no-feed ordinance.
Sallinger tries to put the risk coyotes pose in perspective. "More people are injured every year by bees, cows, rattlesnakes," he says. "If you're going to be killed by a large animal in the Northwest, it's probably going to be by hitting a deer with your car." There's been only one recorded coyote-related human death in the United States, and that was 30 years ago. A recent flurry of coyote activity--mostly attacks on off-leash dogs and a handful of people bitten--has spurred Denver suburbs to hire shooters to kill coyotes. Yet experts say culling is futile, because new coyotes fill the gap. "There may be situations in which lethal control is warranted," says Sallinger. "But the sad thing is that communities are killing them for no reason. I think too often the knee-jerk reaction is fear and unnecessary lethal control. The only solution is to learn to coexist."
Over the past decade coyotes have gained a foothold in most major U.S. metro areas, from Austin to Denver, from Los Angeles County to New York's Westchester County. "Cities have put more and more resources toward creating green spaces--butterfly gardens, parks, natural areas in golf courses," says Stan Gehrt, an Ohio State University biologist who leads the Cook County, Illinois, Coyote Project, which has captured, released, and tracked more than 500 coyotes in Chicago since 2000. "They want a sense of nature. But when nature starts using it, some people get upset. We'd argue that coyotes are an important part of the natural world, even in cities." In fact, despite their relative invisibility and shady reputation, Gehrt has found that the canids play a significant role in the urban ecosystem, helping to keep in check populations of everything from Canada geese to deer.
Learning more about coyotes--what they eat, where they live, their social structure--is important both for their conservation and for minimizing human-coyote conflicts, says Gehrt. "If they were really as habituated as people think, they'd see them all the time. If they were as aggressive as they're portrayed in the news, people would be attacked all the time. By and large, they're not changing their behavior."
In Native American mythology, coyotes represent everything from trickster to creator. Navajo sheepherders reverently called them "God's dogs," and indeed, as if immortal, the wily creatures are thriving despite a century of persecution. Like wolves, coyotes have long been exterminated by the U.S. government in the name of livestock protection. Starting in 1915, each year tens of thousands--in some years more than 100,000--have been killed. Coyotes are responsible for an estimated $27 million a year in livestock damages, primarily sheep, says the USDA. Since they're considered vermin in some states, no permits are required to shoot or trap them there. As recently as the 1970s coyote pelts were selling for $45. But fashions soon changed, and demand decreased. "Prices dropped around the nation at the same time, so trappers weren't taking nearly as many coyotes," says Gehrt. "That's probably part of the reason so many cities got coyote populations at the same time."

Delle Donne, Evans Named to Preseason Watch Lists
Richmond, Va. (Nov. 15, 2012) - Delaware's Elena Delle Donne and Hofstra's Shante Evans have recently been named to a pair of national preseason watch lists. The duo was named to the 2012-13 Wooden Award Preseason Top 30 and to the Naismith Women's early season watch list.
The Wooden Award selections are based on last year's individual performance and team records. The list was chose by a preseason poll of national college women's basketball media members. Delle Donne was on the watch list a year ago, while Evans joined the Top 20 mid-season list during the 2011-12 season.
In 2011-12, Delle Donne led the nation pouring in 28.1 points per game. Delle Donne, who became only the 15th player in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to surpass the 900-point mark for a season, also led the Blue Hens with 10.3 rebounds per game, 86 blocked shots, 39 steals, and 52 three-point field goals while ranking second on the team with 75 assists. Evans averaged 19.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per game for the Pride a year ago.
Created in 1976, the Wooden Award is the most prestigious individual honor in college basketball. It is bestowed upon the nation's best player at an institution of higher education who has proven to his or her university that he or she is making progress toward graduation and maintaining a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA. Previous winners include such notables as Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, Candace Parker and Maya Moore of Connecticut.
Delle Donne and Evans were just two of 50 players selected to the list for the Naismith honor, which is the most prestigious national award presented annually to college basketball's player of the year. The senior duo All-Americans both return to the list for the second consecutive year, as Delle Donne earned a spot on the early season list and Evans joined her on the mid-season list in 2011-12.
In late February, the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors will compile a mid‐season team of the top 30 players in the nation. In March, the Naismith Trophy voting academy will vote to narrow the list to the four finalists
Delle Donne and Evans were also named candidates of the Senior CLASS Award earlier this fall among the many honors thus far this season. They were also named to the 2012 CAA Preseason All-CAA first team.

Lest We Not Forget Slavery MuseumFeb 18, 2013 | News Archive
Check out a local museum that explores the Black Holocaust!
Last week Nick Taliaferro of The Nick Taliaferro Show welcomed guests Gwen & Justin Ragsdale owners and operators of the Lest We Forget Black Holocaust Museum of Slavery. Gwen and Justin spoke with Nick about the founding of the museum and why they felt the need to operate a museum of this nature. As curators of the museum, they take parts of the museum on the road as a part of a traveling exhibit to organizations and schools to educate others about the abuse of slaves during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
The museum includes an extensive collection of slavery artifacts of its kind in Philadelphia which includes shackles, branding irons and other forms of punishing ironware. The collections also possesses numerous documents that promoted the buying and selling of enslaved Africans.
The goal of the museum is to demonstrate what it was like to "Be a Slave". The Lest We Forget Black Holocaust Museum of Slavery is located at 3650 Richmond St in Philadelphia. General admission is $10.00 and the hours of operation are 10:00am to 6:00pm by appointment only. For more information please contact Gwen and Justin Ragsdale at (215) 205-4324 or (215) 397-6060 or visit their website: http://lwfsm.com.

If there's anything indicative of North Americans' lust for consumerism, it's Black Friday.
Long considered the official start of the holiday shopping season, the Friday after American Thanksgiving has become the biggest shopping day of the year in the U.S.
Eager shoppers have begun taking a pass on turkey and stuffing to start lining up outside retailers on Thanksgiving Day. Ah yes, if there's anything to be grateful for, it's rock-bottom prices on big-screen TVs or Xbox Ones. Their founding fathers would be so proud.
